The sea rises and falls, and it is not like the scorching sun shining on the surface of the sea, and a gourd-shaped object is also high and low under the influence of the current......

It was the gatherer who had broken the shackles

At this point, it was no longer plagued by hunger, and the opening of the shackles allowed it to break through its authority, and it awakened a new ability - the cells that dominate itself.

It sounds very powerful, but in fact, it is not as exaggerated as Huogu, directly achieving a comprehensive control over the cells, but on the basis of the original biological structure, a little adjustment has been made, so that the six digestive cavities that can only be used to collect organic materials can also provide supplies to the body of the collector, that is, the digestive cavity is restored to the design of the 'gourd'.

At the end of the day, even if Hogu isn't there, the collector won't be able to gain full access to the entire cell population, and at most it will only affect his own body cells......

However, even if this is the case, it is already very strong, and it is even more so in this world where large macroscopic creatures have not yet evolved naturally.

The petal-like mouth, with its negligible bite force, opens and closes every time, but it brings countless deaths, like a black hole, devouring the tiny microorganisms that swim nearby.

This increases the amount of energy it gains.

Ascension means that it is able to bring its body to its fullest and most complete state, which has never been done before, just like the skinny beggar and the muscular wrestler, although they are of the same species, but the two are almost incomparable in physical ability.

The improvement of physical ability provides the foundation for higher thinking intelligence, and the already energy-intensive brain can now operate at full capacity.

On the basis of the desire to survive, more thinking emotions and more complex ways of thinking are extended.

Now, a premise and a question are in front of it.

The disappearance of the supreme will, that is, their defeat, is the premise.

Does the enemy still exist? This is the question.

There are two possibilities that arise from the question.

When the supreme will is gone, and the enemy dies, it is all the same—and although the gatherers don't know the idiom 'all together' yet, the truth is still clear.

The supreme will is gone, and the enemy is still alive, which means that the existential threat remains.

The first possibility is safety, the second possibility is danger, it may be that under the influence of the supreme will that has not been actively contacted, the gatherer abandons luck, subjectively believes that the situation is based on the worst possible outcome, and chooses the second option.

That's why it's now floating like a rotting driftwood, it's camouflage, its barren brain capacity gives it a way to survive in a dangerous environment.

Drifting along the way, unconsciously, it came to a more distant place.

On the way, countless pillars of smoke can be seen rising from the bottom of the sea, and the hive's huge body is tirelessly carrying out the work given by the Creator, and the thick rhizomes are constantly providing provisions.

Of course, there are also scrappers among them, because they have a mistake in a certain link, which may be due to genes, or from the transportation process of materials, or from the invasion of some extremely threatening microorganisms.

Mountains of figures stood at the bottom of the ocean, inactive, already cold corpses, gnawed by the microbiome.

The gatherer stared intently at the natural scene of the jungle, and a faint throbbing rose in his heart, but when he tried to pay attention to this inner throbbing, it suddenly disappeared.

Thinking back for a long time, the throbbing was not found, and it was not a thing of knowledge, so it should belong to the category of dispensable, the gatherer thinks.

Without thinking too much about it, it follows the current, it doesn't know where the current will lead it, but now it is camouflaged, and the sea temperature is getting higher and higher, which makes it feel very safe to hate low temperatures, so there is no need to actively change its course.

How many days and nights did the arrangement last, the ocean current entered the tropical sea from the temperate zone, and the gatherers were also in this place, disembarking from the current this bus.

Upon arriving in the new environment, the gatherer was very confused, and he looked at his surroundings, both the hives and the rhizomes were much larger than they had seen before.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be like the feeling of people in poor mountain villages when they enter the metropolis and see those high-rise buildings.

The same form of life is common to many cognitions, and the large form can often give a strong sense of security and deterrence, however, when combined with another thing, it is easy to cause greater fear.

That is, 'even with such power, the supreme will still die'.

Once again, the gatherer felt a throbbing in his heart, but it still didn't grasp the sensation or understand what it meant.

The unknown collector continues to look at the environment blankly, the map information can be recorded as knowledge, although the terrain is variable, but without the map information, there is no way to extend the 'concept' of location, and many things cannot be carried out, such as where to transport the collected organic materials? Where is a particular area? How would you describe your current location and where should you go?

For these reasons, Hogu included 'map information' in the category of knowledge when it was first designed.

What the collector is doing now is what it used to do during the Underworld, no matter what it is going to do, first determine the surrounding map information.

Suddenly, the zooming pupils caught a figure floating in the water, the same gourd-like appearance as the gatherer.

The sense of joy that it had found its own kind made the gatherer feel very happy, and this sense of joy even made it ignore the principle of 'camouflage' that it had to follow before, and actively approached the gourd-like figure.

…… It turns out that I am not the only one...... Companion......

It reached out its tail tentacle and touched the gourd-shaped object.

Burst!

The force was so small that it was touched, but it was ushered in an unexpected disintegration, and the gatherer could see a huge number of microorganisms gushing out of the gourd-like body, which in fact was already a lifeless organic material.

The throbbing sensation is back in the air, far heavier than the last one.

Still, the gatherer couldn't catch that feeling......

Since then, one floating corpse after another of the same kind has appeared in the field of vision of the gatherers, all of them have woken up from the ice, and then the gatherers who have died one after another due to lack of supplies have been carried by the current to the waters.

In fact, Hogu didn't have time to add cold protection to the gatherers, and it was already a miracle that they were able to survive the ice, and the current gatherer who has escaped the shackles is even more of a miracle.

Its pitiful size makes it forget what happened before, and it still touches it with hope, and then it is shattered like a dream bubble.

Over and over......

Finally, that throbbing feeling was caught, deeper than fear, more advanced than survival, more basic than reason...... 'I' was born.

"I ...... Who is it? ”
